Module 2

Question 1

the task of making disparate applications work together to produce a unified set of functionality

Answer 1

Enterprise integration

Question 2

Integrated applications should minimize their dependencies on each other so that each can evolve without causing problems to the others.

Answer 2

APPLICATION COUPLING

Question 3

When integrating an application into an enterprise, developers should strive to minimize both changes to the application and the amount of integration code needed.

Answer 3

INTRUSIVENESS

Question 4

Different integration techniques require varying amounts of specialized software and hardware.

Answer 4

TECHNOLOGY SELECTION

Question 5

Integrated applications must agree on the format of the data they exchange.

Answer 5

DATA FORMAT

Question 6

Integration should minimize the length of time between when one application decides to share some data and other applications have that data.

Answer 6

DATA TIMELINESS

Question 7

Many integration solutions allow applications to share not only data but functionality as well, because sharing of functionality can provide better abstraction between the applications

Answer 7

DATA OR FUNCTIONALITY

Question 8

Computer processing is typically synchronous—that is, a procedure waits while its subprocedure executes.

Answer 8

REMOTE COMMUNICATION

Question 9

Remote connections are not only slow, but they are much less reliable than a local function call. When a procedure calls a subprocedure inside a single application, it’s a given that the subprocedure is available.

Answer 9

RELIABILITY
